Liquid starch

Concentrated liquid used in laundry to stiffen fabric, but also creates the viscous water surface needed for paint marbling crafts. The thickened surface tension lets acrylic paints float and swirl instead of sinking.

What to look for

  1. 1Concentrated formula you dilute with water (not pre-mixed spray)
  2. 2Large bottle (64 oz) is economical for multiple marbling sessions
  3. 3Compatible with acrylic paints (check label)

Skip

  • Aerosol spray starch (wrong consistency and wasteful for marbling)
  • Starch alternatives that don't create proper viscosity

Used for: Paper marbling crafts · Creating swirled paint patterns · Rainy day creative projects
